How much can a 2 piece drive shaft handle?
Just finished my 92 s10 4.8/t56 swap with a ford explorer 8.8 with 4.10s. Made 312 rwhp and 308 TQ and I used the stock 2 piece drive shaft. Had to shorten the Trans side 1", couple new u joints and a new carrier.
By the time it was said and done I could have got a new one piece made. Will this thing handle hard launches? Never pushed a 2 piece DS like this.
It's not a ton of power but it rolls out pretty good for a baby motor with baby cam baby carb and baby intake with small headers.

I have been 9.36 @ 147 on my two piece driveshaft. truck weighs 4668. I cut 1.4xx 60'.
had driveshaft originally made by PST. had a pinion yoke break, which broke driveshaft. it was rebuilt locally by a company called Driveshaft power. I have 4150 front and rear joints, larger carrier and largest chromolly tubes they make.
